-Really !? He has a lot of fans and you left all of them heartbroken at Episode 23 !

This is why war/military stories these days get nowhere. It's the whiny fanbase that can't accept the fact that sometimes a main character has to die to convey good drama and leave a significant impact to the audience. Characters shouldn't live in a war story just because they're main characters. 00 is no Seed, so to the Lockon fangirls/boys in denial, I say suck it up.

The new Lockon is just Lyle using his brother's codename, as his right eye is perfectly fine.

Anyways, the new Gundams look alright, felt like they just altered the look and made everything shinier and sharper.
